Re: WOB Corrosion
Thanks Kent. I would stay with the bronze WOB. It saved you this time. Without it that corosion would have happened somewhere else.

Re: WOB Corrosion
Gary and Danny,
I am certain that you are right about the WOB acting as the sacrificial anode.
If this had gone on any longer, might have had catastrophic failure of the WOB. What damage would have

Re: prop zincs ,WOB Corrosion, more than you ever wanted to know about...and a message to Kent from Olivier
Thank you Joel. As usual, your perspective is extremely valuable to us all. I appreciate the Amel design and rarely deviate from it. Since mine is a MaxProp, I can still put a zinc in it and still

Hi again Gary and Kent, further to my last. I do depart from Amel advice regarding zincs. Because the c drive, the shaft and the propeller are so critical I always have a shaft zinc between the prop

Re: Where to put the life raft
Hi Gary,
That is a nice place to store a life raft. However if you have even had your total boat under water, As I have, you will probably lose the raft. That’s why I keep mine in the port locker.

Re: WOB Corrosion
Kent,
In that case I would drill and tap it in 3 or 4 places.
You will need a small wrench to turn the tap.
Use brass screws in case they break—or possibly drill it and insert a few eazy outs

Re: Cleaning the worst parts of an Amel
Well I wanted to test the bonding for my keel bolt this weekend, so I finally did the dreded annual bilge cleaning. Since we previously had a grease based stuffing box, needless to say it was a messy

Re: WOB Corrosion
Hi Kent,
I do like the Dremel idea; it will allow you to section the WOB and remove it like a dentist removes a wisdom tooth.
I wanted to let you know that every time I have ordered prop

Re: WOB Corrosion
Hi Kent,
I hope you and Iris are weathering this non-meteorological storm well.
Galvanic corrosion is one of my (many) weak suits, but I’m isolated and have some time to let my imagination go nuts.

Re: Where to put the life raft
So, this might sound a bit unconventional but I keep my hard cased Winslow below decks in the wet locker next to the nav station ... except when actually sailing.
The hard case is a bit cumbersome

Re: WOB Corrosion
Of course you are right, Bill. I was going to check continuity between the prop shaft and the rudder zincs. That wouldn’t have anything to do with the bilge strap.

Eric, I am able to turn it on the shaft with rotational pressure using a screw driver, but I can’t get any purchase on the WOB, as it crumbles when any aftward

Re: WOB Corrosion
Hi Kent,
Boy, I sure don't know why it would go all zombie like that really.
Nonetheless, a few days' soaking with PB Blaster or (preferably) AeroKroil penetrant is a start.
There's a hex jet set
